Learn about temporary (pendente lite) alimony and child support

Understanding temporary alimony can be a crucial part of navigating a divorce in Connecticut. Temporary alimony, also known as pendente lite alimony, is financial support one spouse provides to the other during the divorce process.

The purpose of pendente lite alimony and child support is to maintain financial stability and ensure both parties can meet their needs while the final divorce settlement is being negotiated.

In Connecticut, courts consider factors such as income, earning capacity, and the standard of living established during the marriage when determining temporary alimony.

At Needle | Cuda, we guide our clients through this process, helping them understand their rights and obligations while advocating for fair and appropriate support arrangements. Whether you are seeking or potentially obligated to provide temporary alimony, we’ll ensure your interests are protected every step of the way.

Timely Financial Relief During Divorce: New Connecticut Law Takes Effect

Facing a divorce often raises urgent financial questions, especially for non-monied spouses:

“How will finances work during the divorce process?” and,

“How do I secure temporary alimony or child support?”

Connecticut’s new Public Act 23-7, effective January 1, 2024, ensures timely scheduling of hearings for temporary financial support (pendente lite) in divorce, legal separation, annulment, and custody cases.

Under the new law, courts are required to schedule hearings within 60 days of a motion for temporary alimony or child support, offering expedited financial relief for families in transition. This change addresses longstanding delays in financial claims and offers a vital lifeline for spouses in need of immediate support. Whether you are the monied or non-monied spouse, these proceedings play a pivotal role in ensuring financial stability during a challenging time. Consulting an experienced family law attorney is essential to navigating this process and protecting your rights.
